3. I believe Russell Wilson is going to be really good this year - bounce back. If the typical Rodgers, Brees, Brady is already taken I'd get Russell Wilson, Cam Newton, James Winston, Marcus Mariota in that order. Eli Manning would be a good later round pick

I downloaded a list from Reddit and sorted by VBD. Did the live draft and chose the best players based off of that list. Started with RB, then QB, WR, etc. I used some youtube video to determine the best positions to pick.

So now that I have a team, I need to figure out how to actually play. There are bench players, do I just keep them for backup or do I have to rotate people in every week?

Payout is only a few hundred bucks for first place, but it's a work group and as the head finance guy I kind of felt obligated, lol.

Look for starting players, especially RB's, that are hurt and pick up their understudy. The best example is Kareem Hunt of KC that took over for injured Spencer Ware and had one of the best debuts of any running back in the Patriots season opener. Got him in one league, the other had a KC fan that snatched him...
